We are continuing our porch show this week with sleeping porches. Conventional sleeping porches were found on the second floor of a home, often atop a covered porch below. They were particularly popular during the Arts and Crafts movement and were frequent in the American South too. All these porches usually had any rustic cots or bunks and served an essential function: They were the coolest spot to sleep at night on warm, summer nights at the days before air conditioning. Nowadays they are a fun and nostalgic place to catch a nap or a night’s sleep with a new breeze. Cooler nights for enjoying some of the porches below are also outfitted.

Bunks and double beds provide room for as many individuals as you can so that everybody may benefit from the breeze on a hot night.
Ropes and weathered wood have coastal-cottage appeal.

Unless you’ve got survivor equipment, you might want to conserve an overnight visit to this Vermont pavilion for warmer seasons. It looks like a wonderful spot to escape from it all that is more sheltered and comfortable than a tent.

This porch is exactly what I would deem a napping porch. Not only does this provide shade and protection against bugs, but it also includes the calming sound of ocean waves lapping on the coast.

Sleeping quarters have been integrated into this screened-in porch, as well as kayak storage and a warm stone hearth.

This classic iron bed is fitting for a farmhouse feel.

1 way to maximize a regular screened-in porch would be to organize a daybed that can be utilized as a sofa during the day and a breezy respite at night.

Suspended beds are a popular fashion; they choose the pleasure of a porch swing and apply it to a mattress.

This mattress will gently rock together with the breeze, if you are catching a few winks or settling in for the evening.
A round hanging mattress is a tropical delight.

This superb house is filled with porch spaces and three-season rooms. This sleeping porch gets the texture of a master bedroom.

Here is a peek in the house’s exterior. The entire house has a very strong relationship to the outdoors and takes full advantage of the perspectives and the climate.

While technically not a porch, this bedroom has the lofty sense of a sleeping porch and a view of a lake through the woods. If you are building a new house, think about a sleeping porch texture, particularly if it is a lake, mountain or beach house.
